No arrests were pending in the death on Thursday of Makayla Darnell, said Chief Deputy James Everett of the Allen County Sheriffs Office in northwestern Ohio. The dog, a combination of a pit bull and another breed, was placed in a 10-day quarantine.

The attack lasted just seconds but it was enough to cause severe head trauma to Makayla. Myers and Darnell drove her to Blanchard Valley Hospital and she was flown to the Mercy St. Vincent Medical Centre where she died less than five hours later.
